Gregory's ServerHey, everyone! “Design for Real Life” is now available online, in full, for free, at https://dfrlbook.com. It’s all the same content Sara Wachter-Boettcher and I wrote in 2016, but now it’s free for everyone. (If you’d like your own paper or electronic copy, there’s a “Buy the book” page on the site.) Read, share, spread the word—thanks!

@Meyerweb That looks great, Eric! I’ve updated “Authors Apart” to help spread the word about the launch.  @Alan Such a great resource, thank you for making this! I will be including it in my next bookmarks post.   @Meyerweb Currently in the Introduction. One small anecdote that might be related to what you're talking about: pretty much the only times my Mom uses the camera on her cellphone is when she's visiting her parents' graves and takes photos of those graves. As a result, she clearly dislikes Google's occasional attempts to make her watch a slide show of her recent photos.  @Meyerweb Reading the part about the fb "Year in review" feature, launched in 2014. 2014 was, and still is, the worst year of my life (nice try, 2020!), so this chapter hits hard. |
For more details on how this came to be and some well-deserved thanks, please see my blog post: https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2024/10/10/design-for-real-life-online-for-free-and-on-sale-for-money/
